Is there any way to edit the type of submarine in the stock game V1.5 inside the QUICK MISSIONS objectives menu?
I know one can go into the "mission editor" and modify all sorts of things but I haven't figured out how to change the sub type or torpedo types.
Any guidance in this effort is much appreciated!
Thank you

Load out would be it's UPC file I'd guess.
Ditto. For the hull itself, "Data \Submarine \NSS_SubName \NSS_SubName.upc" and the conning tower would be "Data \Objects \Conning_SubName_xx.upc" ("Turm_SubName_xx.upc" for German boats). Use the correct conn based upon the date. You could copy your desired files into a mini-mod with your mission file(s), then edit the guns or loadouts, and even any damage if desired (be careful with that - wouldn't want to sink yourself before you start). Activate them together and run your SingleMission. The game is somewhat weird when doing a mod like that with damage, in that you might hear some strange noises as you enter the scenario, so have your speaker volume down a pinch when starting, but not so low you miss a "vocal" prompt. When finished playing, de-activate the mod, else your submarine is always damaged...
